So I was looking at the gear in the beta phase 3 and something came to my mind. Let's take weapons. Daggers/Swords. Why on a lvl 15 dagger, does it say Requires: GLA/PLD? If the jobs work like in 1.0, wouldn't someone who unlock PLD already be lvl 30? Then, I thought it might be because of lvl sync, but correct me if I'm wrong but your current gear gets scaled down when you lvl sync to a lower lvl, right?

There are two reasons that come to my mind.

First, for raising the spiritbond to convert to materia, but why would you do that as a PLD on a lvl 15 dagger?

Second, jobs could work like advanced jobs in FFXI and start at lvl 1.

I think you're over thinking the situation. It's simply saying that you can wear it as a PLD as well. After all, there is a level sync function. Even though our higher level gear syncs, some people may want to gear appropriately. You seem perplexed over a level 15 dagger. It's smile worthy .

We should also stop comparing everything to Final Fantasy XI. Or trying to place everything in a XI mold. I hope people don't do that with significant others... 2nd, Jobs are jobs. Let's just leave it at that.

SE could always decide to put in a dungeon similar to Ipsen's Castel in FFIX. That would make having access to low level weapons incredibly useful. Since that probably won't happen, the simple answer is that it was just convenient. As everyone else said, the job levels with the class.

by what I said I meant that I'm older now and that I got more responsabilities then I used to have. I did play FFXI for more than a year and invest a lot of time in it. And I will play FFXIV, but not as much as I used to play video games.
